When Jim Crow implemented techniques to weaken the black family and mainly the way black men think is what we struggle to break to this day. I have mixed feelings about reparations as a black person myself but you do have to acknowledge the toll a system set upon a people can take, the time it will take to reverse it's actions. Black president or not he hasn't done anything to immediately effect our community, to make it seem like we are better because of his achievements.
Enjoy, the music, all people's. And on a side note, the art on the album is definetly pointing to some race issues in america, so race is on task in the comments. Any white person that understands the construct of race in america, won't feel shamed to understand their privilege in this system. Imagine race is a monopoly, game, but the white people just get to go around the board 6 laps before the people of color can start. You can equalize the system, but we are still six laps behind.That's race
Hello YouTube and fellow Hip-Hop heads! My friend Duff and I wrote a rap to the "What a Niggy Know by KMD instrumental. It is the first video in my "Favorites" so if you have the time, you can go to my channel, check it out, and let us know what you think. Thank you very much! :-)
i remember having this on grimey 5x dubbed tape..i was like the only dude i knew with it..this is was like 94-95 or so..so ill that he sampled what he used..im not that dude to broadcast it tho i know cats already know
fucking tairy hesticles.........everytime i look up some music that i really like, i find out that it was posted by you. sometimes i think the sub'n is a waste of time. but, obviously it's not. great taste in music, glad to see your keeping it real
it seems like they subtly exploit and satire racism, but no pro-black or islamic teachings, at least on "What A Nigga Know?" more like free association rhymes like alot of emcees do. Mr. Hood (1st album) was wayy more pro-black and islamic than Black Bastards.
The lyrics on this song arent black nationalist or 5%er. maybe some subtly with the sample in the in the begining and end (wheres that from by the way? probably some speech or blaxploitation film. anyone know?) and possibly the reference about Subroc's hair being "steel wool,". thats about it.
i think the shelving of the album had to do with the offensive album cover and the actual music (too underground and experimental, not commercial enough for Elektra Records) Im sure Subrocs untimely death didnt help. If a label dropped an artist due to a member of a group dying, thatd be some bullshit. can they do that? good thing it eventually saw the light day. but anyway, people still sleep on on this.
yo can anyone please, please, PLEASE tell me what that flute (?) sample in the background is? anyone find any similarity to the song MGMT electric feel?
this song was featured in a really fucked up movie. any guesses? HINT: its loosey based on skateboarding by a controversial director whose other better known film was also based around skateboarding. mad props for knowing.
This is what being African has been all about. The never ending struggle between society and oneself as a black man. You are either loved my many or racially hated by the majority. Will you sell your soul as a black man to fit in and gain acceptance? Or will you represent for your people through thick and thin while facing the ridicule and scrutiny for speaking the truth that lies in the hearts of all Africans? Damn I went on a tangent, sorry this song just hits me really hard.
that's basically how it is for everyone trying to define his own way of life. regardless of race or wealth.
i grew up never having to struggle for food or clothes, but still i am not the popular guy around town that everybody loves. because of listening to soul funk and hip hop in the middle of bavaria. because of not losing myself in their weapons of mass distraction. because of telling those people what i think about them. because of not doing what society wants me to do.
@TairyHesticles damn near ever single person faces some kind of adversity and prejudice, it has notthing to do with some one growing up well off. money is only one form of struggle
@Unthugged Nah son, go fuck yourself, you didn't grow up during slavery or a time of mass/cruel racism. Its the modern day dude, the "plight of being down" is over, theres a black president for christ sakes. Your only keeping the thought of that horrible time alive by saying shit like that. There are whites and blacks that live from the top to the bottom. Im a white man who loves and understands rap and hip hop and I can proudly say that this music knows no color, keep it real man.
@travismocker all this really is is you not recognizing your white privilege. youll never understand "son," theres things in this world ill experience as a black man that youll never understand or go through, so dont try to act like you can. just because we have a black president doesnt mean shit, he still has to answer to those white devils we never see. as Paul Mooney says, "white people take everything." fuckin crackers.
@Unthugged privilege? Modern day society man, your just nothin but a racist. I grew up around Oakland where Iv been the minority my whole life. I honestly don't see how you personally are so affected by race.How old are you anyhow? In my opinion your just being a racist asshole. Iv never been one to judge by skin color, maybe because I live in such a diverse area, but I feel sorry for the way you feel man, cause all african american folk I know aren't personally affected or aggravated, its love

@SoulAsiatic not all people are the same man, just depends whether you wanna look at the glass half empty, or half full. personally im tired of this racist shit. growing up as a rich white kid in a farm community in south Africa i know all to well what discrimination against black people means. even being subjected to it from birth, i still knew it was wrong. took some careful planning to finally beat the shit out of everyone who detested the fact that i had black friends.. pisses me off.
President of USA is black - No struggle there. The struggle between society and oneself as a black man? Better not be whining about how difficult it is to live in the USA through all the black on black crime that has nothing to do with our society.Take a look at Africa. Life is a way bigger struggle there than it is in North America. Multiple women get raped out there every day, people killed every day, the list goes on. Act right and in result your troubles with society will cease to exist.
Stop blaming us for the lack of progress of your people... Slavery is the worst thing you guys got on us and it wasn't even started by us, our first black slaves were also purchased from black warlords in Africa, all of whom enslaved many of their own kind. The healthiest and safest Africans around are those who live in North America. I guess that means you guys can't help yourselves so white people have to. Struggles with society? Fuck that.
I'm white and I enjoy hip hop more than basically any other genre of music, I grew upto it. I watch football too... I've got buddies who are both African and Jamaican.. Almost everyone does.. You're just a whiney little bitch SoulAsiatic... Clearly aren't too caught up with the times either. Stop looking for someone to point your finger at and work on doing well for yourself. No schools in North America will turn you down, you blame whitey everytime you slang a dime too or what?
hahaha foreal rite hip hop has turned into pop, u know i was comcast lookin foir music i was lookin for eminem and he was under the pop section cus of his stupid ass new shit
